Sergeant Arnold Case Summary
1. It is my personal and professional pleasure to share some insight on the abilities and technical skills of Staff Sergeant Arnold. Staff Sergeant Arnold and I both served together in Okinawa Japan while assigned to Ammunition Company, 3rd Supply Battalion.
2. SSgt Arnold is a self-starter that made an immediate impact on the leadership and performance of the company. He was easily the top sergeant and was routinely given tasks normally reserved for SNCOs. Marines under his charge were always well organized and highly motivated directly due to his efforts. One specific noteworthy achievement was his intervention and direct actions when faced with an attempted suicide. He fearlessly stepped into the point of friction, correctly and swiftly took action without guidance and limited information on the situation. His actions and maturity were responsible for safe guarding a life of a fellow Marine. In addition, then Sgt Arnold masterfully performed as a Section Head/Area Supervisor for the Henoko Ammunition Supply Point. In this capacity, he was responsible for 22 ammunition magazines with 2500 line items of explosive materiel valued at roughly $90 million dollars. During his time in the storage section the inventory accuracy rating was a stellar 98.3% well above the DoD requirement of 95%. …show more content…
SSgt Arnold’s analytical approach, strong leadership ability and masterful communication skills are traits required in the Ammunition Officer community. He is aptly prepared to serve as an Ammunition Officer.
4. If there were only one Marine to be selected to Warrant Officer this year, Staff Sergeant Arnold would be the only Marine I would recommend. This is a battle tested, technically proficient Marine that continuously demonstrates his unlimited potential. I welcome the chance to speak further about SSgt Arnold and his future potential as an Ammunition Officer. I can be contacted at 703-432-8765 or
